A Strange Case.

The Clinton Advocate contains the
following account of a singular and
sad case of disease: Yesterday af-
ternoon Bud O'Nsal, of Mayesburg,
accompanied by DR.. Miller, came to
this city bringing with him his two
year old babe. a bright, intelligent
looking child, to have the doctors ex-
anime its throat for structure. He
went to Dr. Britts, who, upon exam
inatioH, called in several Of his pro-
fessional colleagues. 1t was attempted
to insert a small probe into the eso-
phagus. when it was found to be en-
tirely closed. In last September the
child drank concentrated I've and by
the strongest endeavors the life of the
child was saved, but the membrance
of the mouth and throat was eaten
away by the potash, and since that
time the child has been able to swal-
low only milk or Cruel. Last Monday
was the first time it became wholly
unable to swallow, and since that
time its parents have been obliged to
see their little idol go without nour-
ishment while they have plenty of the
good things of life.
Upon consultation, the doctors
thought it a hopeless case, and though
their hearts were touched by the sad
conclusion, they were forced to tell
the sad father that they believed
nothing could be done for his child's
relief.
1t is probable that the structure ex-
tends to the stomach, and if 50, the
operation of splitting the gullet and
inserting tube would take the life of
the little sufferer. Nourishment might
be given by inserting tube into the
stomach, but the operation would be
a dangerous one, and besides being a /
constant care, the life of the child
would be continually imperiled.
Mr.. O'Neal expected to take the
child to Kansas City to-day to consult
with men eminent in the surgical pro-
fession regarding the chances of his |
child's life, but carrying small hopes
and heavy heart.
The case is truly sad one. The
babe is the only child of the fond
parents and if they are compelled to
zee the little one starve to daath, their |
hearts agonies will be untold.

SUNDAYS SUPPLIES.
What Your Dinner VIII Cost You
To-day, III You Live Well.

Prices of meats vary so little in Sc
dalia that for the purposes of this ar
ticle, they are not included. The house.
keeper who went to the market yes.
terday, to secure the material for to
days, dinner, discovered that vegeta.
bles and fruits cost money. This will
be seen in the retail figures which
ruled yesterday for the articles speci.
fed, as given herewith.
Spinach and mustard greens are
going out of date, and sell at ten
cents a gallon. Radishes. whether
homegrown or brought from St.
Louis, are sold, three punches for a
dime.
New cabbage are worth from five
to six cents a pound. They come
from Louisiana and California not
many from the latter place. New
peas from Mississippi are held at forty
cents a gallon. Three punches aspar-
agus cost ten cents. Soup punches,
which are brought from st. Louis, re-
tail at two for Is cents or four for a
quarter. Four punches of pie plant
bring dime, only, and cheap at half
the money. String beans, from the
south, of course, cost 65 cents a gal
lon. The large butter lettuce fetches
fifteen cents for a couple of heads,
while the homegrown costs a nickel a
head. Onions are cheap; the new
Bermuda bulbs, however, are worth
s1.25 a peck.
New potatoes are fifty cents peck;
and the old variety is twice that much
a bushel. Cucumbers and caulifower
are too high for this market, yet.
In the way of fruits, bananas are
retailed at 25 or 80 cents a dozen.
Strawberries, the crescent Seeding,
from Benton, Arkansas, bring from
25 to 80 cents a quart box. Not
many of these excellent berries go to
make box full.
As for fish and fowl, spring chick
ems of small dimensi ms retail for %
and 30 cents, according to size; teal
duck are worth 50 per dozen. River
fish, such as buffalo, cat and croppie,
retail for 10 cents a pound for the
first, 12II for the cat, and 10 cents for
the croppie, Lake fish all through
sell for Is cents. Red snapper is also
held at this price. Salt water haddock
bring 1299 cents a pound.
The market is pretty literally sup
piled with some of the aforementioned
edibles and is scant on others. The
prices given are those of a leading
dealer in table supplies.

THE FARM GARDEN.
How 1t Can Be Made Q Source Of Both
Pleasure and Profit.

How 1t Can Be Made Source Of Both
Pleasure and PROFIT.
Many persons attach no vslue to the
labor of garden work. especially when
it affords them mode of healthy out
door exercise, but whether a garden be
only very small plos or larger area,
the advantages derived depend upon
the skill, care and labor of the person
who has charge of it It is true that,
while those who cultivate hundreds Of
acres of truck" can pre- uce vegeta-
bles much more eheaply than those
whose plots are too small to permit of
the use of improved implements. the
gardener who grows his vegetables for
home use secures freshness and quail
ity that can not be obtained with yege-
tables that are purchased. There is
quite difference between the pulling
of ripe tomato from the vine and
placing it on the table and the selec-
ton Of one from basket that has been
shipped ever a distance of rail, and
which may have been taken from the
vines two or three days before.
But there is also another advantage
in family gardening other than the
freshness and quality of the small
fruits and vegetables grown, which is
the choice of varieties. Two or three
kinds of squash, several of peas, as
well as different varieties of beets. beans,
berries and even of melons, if space
allow of their growth, will permit of
catering TO the preferences of every
member of the family. With the Sc
lection of varieties come proper care
and judicious working with the hoe,
and 1t is in this manner that the young
er members are taught their first les
SON In practical agriculture. 1t is said
that boy who works OH farm where
his duties call for milking the cows,
blowing the fields and cultivating the
crops, does not have that fondness for
farm life that is peculiar to the one
who is given small garden and early
taught to take On interest in it.
1t is often the case that ladies are
benefited by light work in the garden,
especially if they are interested in OBJ
serving the different stages of the
growth of plants. and when the farm
er's wife. and the children also, become
interested the cost of the labor may be
really considered as nothing, while the
saving of doctors bills and the enjoy
ment of garden luxuries more than
compensate for the care bestowed. II
every farmer would have garden and
take an interest in it, it would greatly
add to the comfort and enjoyment of
farming. as well as prove very profit

There was an even half dozen de-
linquents before his honor the record
er, yesterday morning.
James Hanley, a country youth of
perhaps twenty years, was arrested for
a plain drunk, but when he sobered
up this morning he was found to be
insane, and the charge against him
was dismissed. He insisted, however,
on making the court a speech, and it
required the united efforts of the
court and the police to prevent him
from giving specimen of his elo-
quence.
David Marks was found drunk
in box car. He was let
off with sc fine, So for the drunk
and one for trespass. He claimed
that he was a railroad employee and
was hunting a conductor to take him
back to Pleasant Hill. Just how he
expected to find conductor in a box
car he did not explain.
Perry Morton, black, villianous
looking coon, was arraigned for dis
turbing the peace. He showed q
great deal of impudence toward the
court and claimed to be a bruiser from
away back, but finally admitted that
the extent of his valerous deeds was
to attack women, and that he had
on this occasion mashed
his own wlfe's mouth. NotwithstaRd-
ing which. he was given but five days
on the rock pile. 1t is 10 be hoped
when be gets out that some muscular
wench will take him across her knee
and give him such dressing as will
teach him that even woman is able
to fight little.
VIM. Crowley and III. j. Nichols,
charged with tresspass, were fined five
dollars each. Crowley being required
to pay an additional penalty for costs
of 81.
A commitment was ordered to issue

w. A. Beatty, one of the oldest
locomotive engineers in the west, died
at his residence in Slater, Mo-, from
the effects of choral. About ten
days ago he had the misfortune to
burn the hues out of the boiler of his
engine, for which he sent in his resig-
nation, and since that time he has
been rather respondent. Tuesday
night he asked his wife if there was
any whisky in the house, and on being
told there was none, he picked up the
bottle Of choral and drank the con-
tents. Everything possible was done
by the physicians, but he never re-
covered consciousness. He leaves q
wife and family. His remains were
shipped to Baltimore, Nd, for inter
ment. The unfortunate man was
well known to many railroad men
throughout the state.

Cooks Last Lecture.

Joseph Cooks lecture Friday even

church was listened to by a large au-
dience, his subject being ultimate
America" The speaker was atten-
lively listened to, and his remarks
were highly enjoyed by all. Mr..
Cook is one of the wOst popular lec-
turers on the platform, and his ideas
are always expressed in the choicest
language. His treatment of difficult
subjects is quite original, but he is al
ways INELIGIBLE and pleasing to his
audience. The two lectures were a
treat to cultivated Sedalians, as was
testified by their crowding the church
on both evenings.
